This book includes the details of data flow, what data is used, quality control, the hydrologic and hydraulic models used, and the unique problems of each country or system, such as glacial dam failures, ice jams, sparse data, and ephemeral streams and rivers. Each chapter describes the system, including details about its strengths and weaknesses, and covers lessons learned. This helpful resource facilitates sharing knowledge that will lead to improvements of existing systems and provides a valuable reference to those wishing to develop new forecast systems by drawing on best practices.  aIncludes index.0 aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed April 18, 2016). 0aFlood forecasting. 7aFlood forecasting.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00927522 4aElectronic books.1 aAdams, Thomas E.,eeditor.1 aPagano, Thomas C.,eeditor.403ScienceDirectuhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128018842
